I am looking for a bow to get my girlfriend. She is around 5'3 and could prolly pull around 40 lbs. Any suggestions??

I read the title and thought you were looking for a trade..

Go to a bow shop selling Diamonds. If she can shoot a 25" draw bow have her try a Liberty with 40-50# limbs. Set it at 45 and it will feel like a picnic to her. A 50-60# limb turned all the way down should shoot under 50# if that is all they have. She can probably still draw that back at least to get the feel.

Yea, we need pics to help out.Honestly it depends if you want to go hunting, or is it for target. the Mico Midas or Adrenline are good, so is the Diamond line, but the Diamond line is a bit more expensive. Just take her to a pro shop and have her shoot a few types.

Parker Micro Phoenix is a nice bow for women

I bought my girlfriend a Martin Saber over the summer, she was out shootin w/ me today and was doing well... its adjustble wt from 35-50# and the draw is 24" i think, not sure, anyway martin makes some great bows for smaller framed people.

I found it on ebay for a great deal.

Bowtech Equalizer hands down

I shoot a Diamond Rapture at 50 lbs and I love it. It's fast, reliable, awesome grouping and its nice and light.

My wife shoots a Hoyt Rintec XL andit has been a great bow for her. She is thinking about upgrading to an Equalizer or a Tribute just to get a bow with much more speed. The Rintec has been very good though because of the adjustability in draw length and poundage. She was a new archer when we got it, and it took a bit to get her draw length just right and she has steadily going up in poundage. I would start her at a low poundage, like 30#, even if she can pull more. With the low weight, she will be able to shoot longer and hold at full draw easier.
